Tunisia vacation

The truth is that with an organized excursion you do not have much time for anything, and in my case I had a few hours less to visit the city. It is a pity that the baths have not been better preserved because in their time they must

South of Tunisia and the Sahara desert trail we found a huge desert. It wasn't a sand dessert, but rather one made of salt. Chot El Jerid extends dozens of kilometers and we crossed it through a long, straight road. At one point we

The Roman amphitheater in El-Jem is the largest in Africa and the fourth largest worldwide. In my opinion it is better preserved than the Coliseum in Rome, because at least it is possible to go down to the sand and go through the

Chebika is, along with Tamerza and Midès, one of the three most famous mountain oasis in Tunisia. Its main attraction is a picturesque fountain, located at the bottom of an old Berber village, with small palm trees and a waterfall. It

The Capitol is considered one of the most beautiful Roman buildings throughout Africa. It was built in 167 AD and was dedicated to the gods of Jupiter, Minerva and Juno (the Capitoline Triad). It consists of a sanctuary preceded by a

The best part of Tunisia are the blue waters so clear and warm. It's a calm place that still isn't fully exploited by tourism. There's also a luck factor, since we were told there was a lot of seaweed on some other local beaches. Our

When I was at the beach I went to a club hotel ideally situated. Never been to Tunisia nor in Djerba but I found it all very pleasant. The beach is very good and, above all, the sea is beautiful! The Mediterranean with its green and

Dar el Jeld restaurant is located in the Medina, very close to Kasbah square. It's a very nice restaurant, with Tunisian food and Arabic décor (which was very ornate). As is the custom here, before our meal they brought us several

Do not leave Sousse without trying a delicious mint tea. A secret blend of green tea, cardamom, sugar and mint makes a delicious tea. Accompanying it with a hookah fruit or candy or a date cake is the best way to end the evening.

Without a doubt the best cafe in the town of Sidi Bou Saïd is Café des Nattes. It is decorated with columns painted in green and red, which for those who do not know, are the colors of Islam. And I personally recommend trying the mint

The restaurant Au Bon Vieux Temps ('In the good old days "), is located in one of the central streets of the Tunisian coastal town of Sidi Bou Saïd, specifically in the street Hedi Zarrouk. Its cuisine is based on a typical Arabic
